Traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage
- 4 pounds Packaged Corned Beef (point Or Flat Cut)
- 1 pound Baby Carrots
- 1 pound Red New Potatoes, Cut Into 1 1/2-inch Pieces
- 1 head (small) Green Cabbage, Cut Into 8 Wedges (Keep Core Intact To Keep Wedges From Falling Apart)
- Place corned beef and seasoning packet in 6- or 8-quart stock pot.
- Fill stock pot with enough water to cover corned beef by an inch or two.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer, cooking for a total of 50 minutes per pound (my 4-pound corned beef cooked for a total of about 3 hours and 20 minutes).
- Feel free to skim any scum that rises to the surface, being careful not to remove seasonings.
- 60 minutes before corned beef is done, put carrots in the stockpot, making sure they go do down into the water.
- 30 minutes before corned beef is done, put potatoes in the stockpot, making sure they go down into the water.
- 15 minutes before corned beef is done, place cabbage wedges on top of corned beef.
- Its okay if the cabbage wedges dont get submerged under the watercover the stockpot and the steam in the pot will cook the cabbage.
- Carefully remove the cabbage wedges from the pot and place on serving platter.
- Remove corned beef from stockpot and place on cutting board; slice thinly across the grain and arrange on serving platter.
- Remove carrots and potatoes from stockpot and arrange on serving platter.
